Almost Home: The Chesapeake Diaries by Mariah Stewart

3.0

The 3rd in the Chesapeake Diaries Series (this was the first one I read as going back to read the others). A quaint seaside town of St Dennis out of Maryland-- the setting for the series within a small town with a number of business owners, based around an older woman named Grace who works at the newspaper who occasionally summarizes the gossip and events in the town. Main character is Steffie who wants to marry a guy from high school who moved away, buy a house, and open an ice cream shop. She gets her ice cream shop and a wonderful house and now she gets a second chance at her high school love. Along with way are some challenges when life throws the couple a few curve balls and secrets from the past. (Be sure and catch up with the other characters in the other books in the series). I liked #1 much better (currently reading #2).
